Abstract excerpt
Na-K-Cl cotransport was measured in 209 essential hypertensive patients (EH) and in 114 normotensive controls (NT). The distribution of Na-K-Cl cotransport was bimodal in EH and unimodal in NT. The EH with higher Na-K-Cl cotransport values had increased passive permeability to Na in fresh erythro...
